Librarians were heartened to see "early childhood development" among the concernsin the City of Springfield's new Field Guide 2030 approved by city council last week.

This 20-year plan was designed by a wide cross section of citizens to establish a route for Springfield's future. Among other things, the citizens hope that by 2030 our community will provide the best home possible for our children. They write, "... High-quality early care and education are two of the most important preventive actions we can support to ensure our children get the best possible start in life."
